The second prize was awarded to “In Time”, from the Faculty of Law, a project directed by Dr Montserrat Nebrera and based on an innovation that directly affects the acquisition and development of skills through the consideration, concentration and management of students time.

The third prize was given to a project from the UIC Barcelona School of Architecture titled “Metaverse, the role of the architect in digital environments”. This proposal stands out for its disruptive approach to new teaching and pioneering models.
